    Update your old drivers from 2011:

    Please can you post updated dxdiag? Also a log file from PA might help.

    dose not look like it to me, it still say the graphics driver is from 2011, which AMD option are you downloading and installing?

    Glad you managed to fix the problem. Driver stuff can be a bit finicky and a pain to deal with sometimes.

    the crashing is becoming a bit of a problem actually... it seems that every time i do certain levels(that have multiple plannets) it allways crashes. :(

    That will be lack of ram... the problem with using a machine based on an APU like yours- the integrated graphics steal some of the system memory for video ram.

    If you're playing Titans then technically you are below minimum spec due to the gpu stealing some of it... Options to improve it would be either get some more ram (which is pretty cheap) or look into getting a discreet graphics board (cost varies depending on how much performance you want).
